docs(obsidian): close tracker item 6; separate the frontmatter tail from the goal

The mirror duplication is resolved and verified. The remaining items are
re-ranked honestly: 1-4 are the frontmatter tail, 2-3 need steward judgement
rather than executor work, and 5 — the capture practice — is the actual goal
and still unstarted.

Flag for whoever designs it: daily-log/ and sessions/ already exist in
00. Compass/00b. Constellations/CapableMind/. Read them first. A capture
practice may already have been attempted here.

keys again after mirror sync `a58fc00`; any future pass over that subtree is undone on the next `/wrap-up` §7, retire the launchd agent. Done and verified: agent unloaded · plist removed from
sync. **Fix the path before re-applying the spec there** — otherwise the work is re-done, which `~/Library/LaunchAgents/` **and from `~/dotfiles/config/capablemind/`** (load-bearing —

resurrect the retired job) · deployed script removed · stale tree deleted after three independent
no-loss checks · `/wrap-up` §7 rewritten to name itself the only writer, forbid edits to the
derived tree, and report the outcome with its exit code in §8 · spec bumped to **v1.0.1** with
principle 7 + §1a declaring mirrored trees out of scope. Commit `f1c91d9`.

## What remains — and what it is worth
Items 1–4 are the **frontmatter tail**: real, bounded, and *not the goal*. Item 5 is the goal.
- **1** is ours and wrong (one bad pointer) — smallest real debt, ~10 minutes once its correct
target is decided.
- **2, 3** are steward-judgement work, not executor work: 73 pointer-form `canonical` values and
213 `related` targets need an eye that knows what the notes *mean*.
- **4** (16 YAML parse errors) has never been in scope and is a session-sized bite.
- **5 — the capture practice — has still not been started**, and the 2026-08-23 check made it
sharper, not smaller: `01. Daily/` holds 11 notes, newest **2025-09-04**, and the Daily Notes
plugin is unconfigured. There is no dormant habit to revive.
⚠ Note for whoever designs it: `00. Compass/00b. Constellations/CapableMind/` already contains
`daily-log/` and `sessions/` folders. **Read those before designing anything** — a capture
practice may already have been attempted here, and re-inventing over it would be the third
duplicate mirror in spirit.
